Verse 1:
Now I`m [A]aimin' for heaven
But probably [G]wind up down in [D]hell
Where [A]upon this alter I will [G]hang my guilt ridden [D]head
But it`s [D]time I`ll take [G]before I [D]begin
Three [G]sheets to the [D]wind, Three [A]sheets to the [D]wind
Chorus:
[G]Rebels are [D]we, though [G]heavy our hearts shall always [A]be
Ah, no [D]ball or [A]chain no [G]prison shall [D]keep
We`re the [D]rebels of the [A]sacred [D]heart
I said no [D]ball or [A]chain no [G]prison shall [D]keep
We`re the [D]rebels of the [A]sacred [D]heart
Bridge:
Verse 2:
[D]Terrified of the [G]open [D]road
Yeah, [G]where it [D]leads ya [A]never [D]know
But [D]rest assured he`ll be [G]on you [D]back
Yeah, the [G]Holy [D]Ghost through his [A]tounges in [D]black
As the [A]band dog howls and the [G]young girl [D]cries
The [A]blessed virgin in her [G]proud dad`s [D]eye
The [D]albatross hangin' [G]round your [D]neck
Is the [G]cross you [D]bare for your [A]sins he [D]bleeds
Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
Bridge:
Verse 3:
Genuflect all you refugees who fled the land
Now on guilt you kneel
And say a prayer for those left behind
From beyond the pale to the Northern sky
So you saved your shillins and your last six pence
Cause in God`s name they built a barbed wire fence
Be glad you sailed for a better day
But don`t forget there`ll be hell to pay
Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
Solo:
A-G-D x2
Bridge2:
[Hm]Reserrection [E]no protection [G]all things life must [A]be
Chorus:
Ah no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
Verse4:
Now [A]bless me father for I [G]have [D]sinned
But it`s the [A]same old story [G]again and again and [D]again
Ah well, [D]such is the bread of an [G]everyday [D]life
From [G]mornin' to [D]noon to this [A]shadowless-[D]night
Chorus:
Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be
Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep
We`re the rebels of the sacred heart
Comment: Verse3 is identical to Verse2 and the Choruses are all the same.
